Product description
These boots are inspired by an archaeological find from the famous Oseberg ship burial, which dates back to the 9th century. They represent a type of Viking boot that is closed at the front and laced around the shaft with a long leather strap. At the top of the shaft, two holes allow the lace to be securely fastened, ensuring a snug and stable fit during wear.
For the sole, a deliberate choice was made to use a rubber variant. While not historically accurate, it provides excellent grip and significantly greater durability than traditional leather soles—especially when walking frequently on modern surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, or gravel. This makes the boots a practical and comfortable option for anyone involved in Viking reenactment, festivals, or outdoor events.

Maintenance & care
Just as with weaponry, you can care for your shoes and leatherware by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.
When packaging this item, we exclusively use 100% recycled plastic and recycled paper/cardboard from FSC certified forests. We reuse a large part of the material directly without the intervention of a recycling process.
Recycle the material by separating your waste:
1. Cardboard: separate or reuse your paper.
2. Plastic cushions, clothing bags and plastic tape: separate or reuse your plastic. If possible, pierce the cushions with a volume reduction needle.
3. Paper packaging for jewelry and small items: these have a plastic inner layer. Remove these, then separate your paper and plastic.
